Nbxlg3,5 and Nbxlg4 mutant plants have reduced resistance to bacterial and fungal pathogens. a, b Nbxlg3,5 and Nbxlg4 mutants showed enhanced disease susceptibility to Pst DC3000 (a) and Pst DC3000 hrcC⁻ (b). The plants were infiltrated with the indicated Pst strains, and in planta bacterial titers were determined at 3 days post-inoculation (dpi) (mean ± SD, n ≥ 6, student’s t-test, **significant difference at P < 0.01). c Nbxlg3,5 and Nbxlg4 mutants showed enhanced disease susceptibility to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The leaves were inoculated with S. sclerotiorum and photographed at 1 dpi, and the lesion areas were measured (mean ± SD, n ≥ 8, student’s t test, **significant difference at P < 0.01).
